[Rhodes22-list] A Visit to Edenton

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I left Edenton with no clue as to how long I might have to wait for a boat to appear at GBI that would be a suitable candidate for recycling.  The answer turned out to be exactly one week.  We visited Stan on the 13th.  On Nov 20, Stan sent an email saying that he had a 1988 boat that was a good fit for what we wanted.  We thought about it over the weekend, but really there was no way we were going to say ‘no’ to Stan proposal.  This morning I put a check in the mail.

I had left Stan with of list of features were looking for, almost all of which he will be able to satisfy.  One item he doesn’t currently have is a Pop Top Enclosure.  In the email, Stan warned me that a new one would be expensive, but didn’t give me a price.  Does anyone on the list have one they’d like to sell?

Thanks,
